Impromptu
Perfect word to describe last Sunday.
So caught up with Ying last Sunday and went to this Greek cafe in Clayton which was filled with rows of dazzling desserts. Honestly, as far as Clayton standard is concerned, I reckon the cafe looks rather swanky. =)
Had a hot chocolate (unsurprisingly) and it was undoubtedly delightful! Unlike some cafes that serve what tastes like diluted hot chocolate, this was very rich and chocolaty, simply heavenly! Now that's what I call a proper hot chocolate.
Also had a tiramisu. Hmm, it was good but nothing special about it, just a normal tiramisu and frankly, you can't go wrong with tiramisu. Maybe I should try something out of the ordinary next time.
Soon after that, decided to go to Dream Festival at Federation Square out of spontaneity. Now you get what I meant by impromptu?
Isn't this pretty?
Weichao was beaming with joy, LOL.
The place was full of these cyclops-like statues which seemed to be the theme of the festival, not very sure about the reason behind this though. Maybe I should have read the brochure?

Spotted this colourful cyclop, reckon the combination of colours was quite retro and psychedelic.
Cyclop with a heart, awww......
Mummy-to-be cyclop alert! Btw love that prism of rainbow light.
Guess what I was trying to do? This shot seems to be a failed attempt though.
There, didn't I look like I was pregnant too? Hehe...... -__-lll
These artsy displays were one of the highlights of the festival. They may look dull during the day but wait till you see how they would look like at night.
Ying acting cute, hehe.
A happy Ying holding Mr Cyclop's hand.
A bashful yours truly holding Mr Cyclop's hand. *sweat*
Weichao looked like he was getting ready to be castrated, wahaha! *evil laughter*
And the night came......
Love this shot, ain't it pretty? ^^
This could change to different colours from time to time. I actually waited for it to change to this colour in order to take a photo of it. (Yes of course I was kidding, it was merely a coincidence, hehe)
Err, a very disturbing expression. *shudders*
Even the snail looked so different at night. See, told you they looked different in darkness.
In my opinion, this looks like those avant garde abstract paintings (which I could never seem to appreciate, an acquired taste I reckon).

TGIF!!!! \(*.*)/
Went to Chadstone with my colleague Cherie straight after work last night. Girls night out, how cool is that!
Saw Body of Lies starring Leonardo di Caprio and Russell Crowe. We were actually hovering between The Duchess and Body of Lies but we eventually chose the latter as the pragmatist in me concluded that action movies are more financially worthwhile, hehe.
It was a good movie, although I must say, I was tense half the time given that it's about terrorism in the Middle East (especially the scene where Leo was tortured by the terrorists, simply grotesque!).
There was one guy in the movie though, who caught my attention.
And he was Mark Strong! *swoons* (Yes the guy on the left. What? You didn't actually think I was going to say Leo did you?) To be more precise, think I was more attracted to his character Hani in the movie, head of the Jordanian secret service. He was extremely intelligent, cool-minded, sophisticated and SO manly in suit (then again, most men do look good in suits). Having said that, as much as I think intelligent men are appealing but when he's too intelligent (like Hani), he's exactly the kind of men that girls ought to stay away from. D.A.N.G.E.R.O.U.S.
Oh, can you believe Mark Strong was also Septimus in Stardust? Gosh such stark contrast! Oh well, guess I'm still more in love with my Christian Bale after all, hehe.
Btw, love the lines too, especially this phone conversation between Leo and Russell:
R: I'm sure Aishah will be happy now that you're back in Amman.
L: *speechless implying that he's surprised R knew about Aishah*
R: Don't think I didn't know about your girlfriend. What did you think I do in my free time? Play tennis? Do I look like a tennis player to you?
Simply hilarious! Russell Crowe and his dry humour.
Anyway, went to Pancake Parlour for dinner before the movie (sorry this doesn't seem to be in chronological order). Can't believe this was actually my FIRST time to Pancake Parlour although I've been staying in Australia for the past three years!
Had cheese and potato pancake with fresh mushroom sauce. The sauce was to die for, absolutely LOVE it! Thumbs up. *drools*
Miss Cherie Lau. =)
Fine I know I looked tired but it was after a whole day at work, what do you expect? Hehe.
Hmm, wonder what Cherie was flipping through? Gosh this is exciting! Care to know? ^_^

Tadah, ticket to Wicked! Finally found a Wicked kaki and what's sweeter, we got such fantastic seats! *tears* Oh happy day!!!!
p.s. So why did I erase the date and time in the above photo? Simply because I don't feel like telling you when I'm going for Wicked, wahaha! (ok just joking, I'll still tell you if you ask me in person, hehe)
